Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) has released the schedule for the Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE) for filling up vacancies for administrative, teaching, and non-teaching posts from existing employees of the feeder cadre for appointment to a promotional post. There are a whopping 4014 posts in total to be filled through LDCE up to the year 2023. Wow!
Teachers, officials, and other candidates of KVS fulfilling the eligibility requirements can appear for the LDCE, but applying for LDCE-2022 or scoring the required minimum qualifying marks does not permit them a claim to the post or guarantee that they will get that post.

The Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE) provides KVS teachers and staff to get a promotion to a higher post. The existing post is called the 'Feeder Post'. For example, a Post Graduate Teacher (PGT) can get a promotion to the post of Vice-Principal, a Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) and take up the higher role of a PGT, an Assistant Section Officer can get a promotion to the post of Section Officer, and so on. For the post of PGT and TGT, you can apply for one subject only.
Since the LDCE is for a promotional post, the minimum qualifying mark for all posts is 40% (35 % for SC/ST candidates). The test is a Computer based test (CBT) that will be tentatively conducted at Centers located in the cities of the Regional Offices of KVS. The syllabus of the exam is available on the official website for quick reference under Employment Notice–Syllabus.
